What a great cake !! Made recipe as posted except I added my own recipe that I have posted for the apple butter. Other than that I added a tad more nutmeg, but all in all this is one GREAT apple cake. Love the low calories too. Made for PRMR tag.

Lovely cake, love the combination of apples and spices! With apple butter being an expensive import in this country I used sugarless applesauce (at the chef's suggestion). I doubled the cardamom, it's a flavor we love! Thanks for posting the recipe!
